My last day in Vietnam was happily spent on the water. A morning practicing headstands and playing around on paddle boards left me feeling like a child again. An afternoon kayaking around the bay in low tide and stopping off at an island shrine left me feeling content. I was lucky enough to have knowledgeable, fun, and interesting guides who inspired me with their stories of leaving their home countries in pursuit of the lifestyle they wanted. The bay has a powerful pull on those who visit. It allowed me to open myself up to another world and to take in everything that was offered through these experiences in such a short amount of time. I know it will not be the last time I visit Asia.
